What Is Causing Painful Movements In The Kidney?
My right kidney is malrotated and I was going to a kidney specialist, had a stent put in. It didn t help so a week later my stent was removed. I ve also had plenty of c scans and mri s done, been hospitalized due to blood in my urine and pain. Lately I ve been feeling my kidney move and its been very painful. Is there any other options for me? Thank you.

Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i must assure you, that a malrotated kidney is only a variation, by birth, and not an abnormality or disease.
It's well seen in a contrast CT-scan.
But, unless, it gets obstructed, or some definite cause for treatment like a stone blocking it, arises, no intervention is needed.
I fail to understand, why you had several CT scans, MRI's, DJ stenting, etc.
You're welcome to send a copy of treatment with scan reports here, in my name, for an expert opinion.
